- For the term used to define matches where both players choose the same character, see Ditto match.
Ditto, or Metamon (メタモン, Metamon) in Japan, is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Creature description
Ditto is a small pink blob with a face. As stated in the Pokédex in the games, it has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into an exact duplicate of whatever it sees, such as an enemy in battle, and can emulate the enemy's size and genetic code. Its transformation ability based on what it observes is perfect, but if it is made to laugh, it can't maintain its disguise. It can also transform by relying on memory, but it often gets details wrong. When it encounters another Ditto, they will try to transform faster than normal into the same thing. It can even transform into non-Pokémon; when it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked.
In the Pokémon RPGs, it only learns one move, Transform, which turns it into a mirror image of its opponent and gives it the offensive, defensive, and move statistics of its opponent.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Ditto is a Pokémon that was removed from Super Smash Bros. Melee just prior to its release. Its supposed purpose was to create an AI copy of the user's character, which would aid them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal.
It can be accessed using special software such as Action Replay, but its Transform ability is not present. Instead, it simply says "Meta!" then disappears. It also deals around 7-8% damage to whoever touches it.
As a Tournament Mode Element
- Main Article: Ditto match
In Tournament Mode, in either Winner Out or Loser Out style tournaments, when selecting a character for these events, simply hold down L+R and then press A. The character will appear as Ditto, and will be a random character and color when each match begins.
As a trophy
Ditto features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:
- Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use Transform, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.
- Pokémon Red & Blue, 09/98
Trivia
- In the official Super Smash Bros. Melee strategy guide, Ditto is still listed as being able to appear from a Poké Ball, suggesting the guide was made while the game was still in development.
